	Standard VIII Digital Graphics/Animation The digital graphics/animation teacher has the knowledge and skills needed to teach the Foundations, Information Acquisition, Work in Solving Problems, Communication strands of the Technology Applications Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in digital graphics/animation, in addition to the content described in Technology Applications Standards I-V. Reflection: The Technology Applications Course Digital Graphics was one of the courses that I was really looking forward to taking. The more the course progressed, the more I started changing my mind. I found that my skill base was a lot lower than I thought. I did get very frustrated during this course because I had one idea of how I wanted it to look and I could not get the outcome to fit my plans. The artifact that I have included shows the digital graphics portion of this standard. I did not feel like my Animation project was good enough to inlcude in the portfolio. I need additional lessons to produce quality materials. I want to learn more in order to take that knowledge and apply it in my classes. Artifact #8

You may compose a separate image for each representation or create a composite of the images. Rationale: I am including this artifact because it represents my knowledge of the principles and elements of design. I had not even heard of the principles and elements of design before TATC so this was a very big learning assignment for me. I researched each of the elements and applied them to an image that I drew in paint. In illistrating each element I now have the knowledge to teach and model each of the elements. Implications for future: I am going to implement this into the curriculum where the students can learn the basic elements of design. I have used this assignment on 6th and 9th grade students. I find that by allowing the students to research then demonstrate each priniciple they retain the information. I had the students draw an image in paint and apply the elements of design to their image, just like the assignment that I did, then we cut each image out, glued in to a task card and laminated them for quick reference. In creating their own reference material, the students learned at a faster rate. Reviewers Comments: "I thought your project was wonderful. The raindrops on the umbrella were the best. Nice work."
